TUESDAY. MAY. 14. 1 89.
In voting to reconsider their ac-
tion on rapid transit the city council
have shown good sense. Let that
reconsideration end in an ordinance
nnder which foreign capital will not
feel itself excluded and there will be
a big opening for improvements all
along the line.
Alderman Boelhauwe’s speech in
the council last night was direct and
forcible. It very plainly set forth
what the city had lost by carelessness
and lack of effort to secure promised
industries and gave good advice con-
cerning the present situation. If the
council will work along the lines of
his proposed speech it will gain the
confidence of the city.
Advices from Galveston Indicate
that that city has done practically
nothing to secure the refrigerator
plant and yet only two days re-
main before the days of grace expire.
The result will not be known until
after the meeting of the beef men.
Galveston no doubt thinks that she
has a corner on commerce by sea and
that the beef men must build at her
wharves whether or no.
The correspondence that has en-
sued concerning that South Carolina
regiment in the inaugural parade is
immense. President Harrison has
shown himself a diplomat of the first
water in this thing. He says he casts
no imputation on the regiment carry-
ing the revolutionary flag but he
leaves unsaid all that would connect
him with any act of recognition of
such an emblem. In this thing as in
scores of others President Harrison
has acted most wisely.
The investigation into the manage-
ment of the Cook county insane asy-
lum (Chicago) shows a most inhuman
and revolting condition of affairs.
The asylum is shown to be unclean
ill-managed over-crowded and the
patients so poorly fed and cared for
that scurvy is prevalent. These facts
again and again certified to before the
county board have produced no
change and the Woman’s Protective
association has brought the case be-
fore the county court. Chicago is a
Christian city hut her practices are
not at all in accordance with the
teachings of her accepted Christ.

The Cotulla Times of Saturday in
an article complimentary though
somewhat fulsome to Hon A. J.
Evans of this city and congratulat -
ing the western district of Texas up-
on that gentleman’s appointment as
United States district attorney turns
from the appointment of Mr. Evans to
that of United States Marshal Fricke
concerning whom and his appoint-
ment it says:
“Regarding the marshalship while
we do not doubt that the appointee
Mr. Fricke although not of the dis-
trict is in all respects worthy and
will so discharge his duties as to re-
flect credit alike upon himself and the
government and will secure to
himself the respect of all persons in
the district save and except of course
the law-breaking portion yet we can-
not overlook the fact that there was an
applicant from within the district—an
old and respected citizen sound re-
publican brave man and efficient-
Captain R. P. Fly our worthy sheriff
whose appointment to the position be-
stowed upon Mr. Fricke would have
been in our opinion peculiarly grati-
fying to the republicans of the state at
large. We had the pleasure of endors-
ins the Captain’s application for the
place indicated as did also the very
best men of this and adjoining coun-
ties irrespective of party affiliation
and we express but the common sen-
timent in stating that had Captain
Fly possessed less of that modesty of
character in pushing his own personal
interests which our people have long
since noticed in him he no doubt
would have gone to Washington and
going would havesecured the appoint-
ment.”
The Light has looked for a little
better statement from the Times than
the above which with its special plea
for the Corpus Christi collectorship
was evidently written for politi-
cal effect somewhere. The
editor of the Times must
certainly be aware that Washington
county is one of the most populous if
not the most populousof all the coun-
ties in the western district of Texas.
It is as certain as that two and two
make four that Mr. Fricke was a resi-
dent of the district in which lie was
appointed. If the Tinies does not
know that fact it does not know
enough to pass an intelligent judg-
ment upon the action of the federal
administration in making that ap-
pointment. Mr. Fly’s presence in
Washington would not have effeefed
that appointment one way or the
other. There were candidates from
this city and from Kinney county in
Washington either one of whom
would have had a better chance for
that marshalship than Mr. Fly be-
cause they had stronger backing and
aggressive republican records which
were accepted appreciated and rec-
ognized at the national capital. All
this without saying or intimating
that Mr. Fly would not have made a
g«od marshal for of that fact
the Light knows nothing. The
fiat however had gone forth
Mr. Fricke’s appointment could
not have been defeated and it is use-
less to attempt falsely to show that
the administration made a mistake
by appointing a man outside the dis
trict when such is not the case. On
Wednesday March 27. 1889 Ilie
Light for the very and express pui-
pose of preventing any farther criti-
cism of Mr. Fricke’s appointment on
the ground of his not being a resident
of the district mapped out that dis-
trict and distinctly stated that Wash-
ington county was in this district.
Now conies the Cotulla Times six
weeks later and rehashes the old
untruth. It is time the matter was
understood. Let the geography of
the district be studied by those who
essay to criticise an appointment
made within it. If material error is
made in so clear and easily to be as-
certained a case as that of the
geography of the district how are we
to expect a correct judgment on the
weightier and more difficult matter of
qualification for office.
The Isthmian states are looking
most anxiously to the United States
for their future and also for present
succor in their hour of need. The
works on the isthmus of Panama are
virtually abandoned and the Colom-
bo press sends out the following dis-
tress cry:
“It is absolutely requisite not to
withdraw from the United States
but rather to take advantage of its
immense power and gigantic influ-
ence to conclude with its assistance
the perforation of the isthmus to
trade and advance under its shadow
and always remember that the road
for the future advancement of Span-
ish America does not lie in the direc-
tion of Europe but in the direction of
the star of the north.”
Colombia reasons well. America is
one. The United States of America
will find her interests in commercial
alliances and extended trade with
the South American and Spanish
American republics rather than with
the European nations.
President Harrison arrived at Fort
Monroe yesterday morning and was
saluted by the battery.
